Referring to the drawing the numeral 1 designates o window of the ordinary construction provided with the usual upper sash. '2 ani the lower sssh Secured to the window the joint oi the upper and lower sashes is the plate l which is best illustrated in 5 consisting of a rectangular sheet oi metal provided with suitable hooks These hoc-hs turn upwardly as clearly shown in.

porting arm and the brace arm which will be more fully hereinafter described.

The supporting arm above referred to consists of a rod 8 having a loop 9 formed at one end which passes through the screw eye 6 and the opposite end of said rod is formed with the downwardly extending angular extension 10 having the loop 11 formed lihereon. ihis angular extension and loop 11 are adspfied to support the pulley .12 over which the clothes line 13 passes. A suitable pin 14- extcnds through the rod 8 intermediate its ends and forms an abutment for the brace rod which will be more fully hereinafter described. The brace rod above referred to consists of a rod 15. having a loop 16 formed at one end which extends through the eye of the screw eye 7 and thus pivotelly supports the brace rod in place on the window casing, while the opposite end of said rod is provided with the angular extension 1'3 having the longitudinal slot 18 formed therein,

The slot 18 zibove referred to is adapted to receive the rod 8 as clearly illustrated in Fig. 1 and it will thus be seen that when the supporting arm is in use, the outer side of the rod will engage the pin Ll thereby holding the supporting arm in horizontal 'posision.

in order to hold the device against sw ing movement when in the position shown in Fig. l, a suitable hook 19 is secured to the window casing as at 20 and is adapted to have its hooked end pass over the-horizontsl supporting bar thereby holding the device rigid. Y

It will be apparent from the lloregoing that when in use the device is raised in the position shown in Fig. 1 and the clothes hung on the line 13. After the d sired number of clothes has been put on Ln 'line it will be apparent that the lower run of the line is hooked over the lower hook 5 and the arm may be lowered as shown in Fig. 2 thereby permitting thewindow to be closed without loosening the tension on the line, In this way it will be apparent 'that a particularly simple and ciiicient clothes line support is provided" which will enable the clothes to be hung on the same without necessitating the person using the device leaning out of: the window.

While in the foregoing there has been shown end described the preferred embodiment of this invention, it is to be undersupporting arm to a window casing, an angular extension at stood that such changes may be made'in the combination and arrangement of parts as will fall Within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

WVhat is claimed is:

1. A clothes line support comprising a pivoted supporting arm an angular extension at the fiee end of said arm, a pulley carried by said angular extension, a pin extending through the supporting arm intermediate its ends thereof, a supporting bracket pivoted at one end to the Window casing, an angular extension in the opposite end of the bracket, said angular extension being provided- With a longitudinal slot for the reception of the supporting arm, the extension engaging the pin to hold the arm in its raised or horizontal position, and a hook to hold the device rigid when in 1ts hor1-' zontal or raised position.

2. A clothes line support comprising a pivotally secured at one end the free end of said arm, a clothes line supporting pulley: carried by said angular extension, a stop pin arranged through said supporting arm intermediate its ends thereof, a supporting bracket pivotally secured at one end to'the Window casing, an angular extension formed on the free end of the bracket, said angular extension being provided With a longitudinal slot slidably receiving the supporting arm, said extension of thebracket engaging the stop pin of the arm to hold the same in a raised or horizontal position, and a hook pivotally secured to the Window casing adapted to'engage the arm to hold the device rigid when in a raised or horizontal position.
